Almac Clinical Technologies, part of the Almac Group, has launched Almac Clinical University, a web-based training and educational platform designed specifically for Clinical Development professionals to offer a library of educational resources for industry best-practices, along with custom-built training programs for existing clients to enhance their partnership with Almac. 
 
The two main areas of Almac Clinical University include the Library and the Academy. The Library contains a variety of case studies, whitepapers, and thought leadership articles on topics including: Biostatistics, Regulatory Compliance, Biologic Development and Cold Chain Management, Clinical Trial Supply Management and Optimization, and Interactive Response Technology (IRT) development and implementation best practices.
 
The Academy is exclusively for Almac clients and end-users of IXRS (Almac’s Interactive Response Technology), which provides secure, custom-developed and comprehensive training modules, on-boarding information, online assessment and certification of IRT end-users, and educational multimedia to enhance the overall customer experience.
 
“Almac Clinical University was truly born out of necessity. Both valued clients and organisations who aren’t yet working with us routinely seek our advice to provide contextual insight and pathways to optimization of protocol execution efforts,” said Matt Cocking, director of marketing for Almac Clinical Technologies. “We’ve also recently witnessed an acute focus by trial sponsors on the ability to electronically assess and certify end-user training for eClinical systems, like IRT. Almac Clinical University was intentionally designed to be a place for knowledge exchange, in addition to accommodating our clients’ requirements for assessing and documenting end-user training with incredible ease and simplicity.”
